Output via Firewire

I am trying to export my finished video to my camera via firewire so that I can then send it to a VCR via the camera's analog outputs. I used to do this often on my old computer, but can't do it on my new one. I connect a firewire cable from the computer to the camera, but do not then see the video in the camera's LCD screen. This leads me to believe that the signal is not being sent from the computer.
Is there a setting, either within Premiere CS4 or in the computer's Control Panel, which I need to change?
Thank you.

Settings : Playback>External Device xxxx may help
or Check out the Export setting in that screen also

  • Output via firewire with studio 2

    I have recently set up a FCP Studio 2 system with a kona LHe card and am having a hard time outputing to dvd. We are using an HD player deck (JH-3) and our analog outputs from the kona are component only. DVD players only take s-video and composite. I need to find a way to go firewire out into my dvd player. There is no option for this in the video playback... I know people doing this on studio 1 but i cant seem to find any way of outputting via firewire in studio2.. any suggestions???

    Thanks for the reply. Yes Im trying to go to a dvd recorder for dailies output. In avid i have s-video and analog out of the mojo but I only have component out as an analog option from our Kona card. In our studio 2 for some reason we dont have an option to go firewire out. Could this be from a poorly installed FCP? In the video playback options we dont have any firewire options.
    thanks again
    Frustrated new FCP user trying to figure out how people record to dvd without looping through deck...

  • Audio output via firewire

    I can not get audio working through firewire on my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13".
    If I test channels in channel setup it gives me static, but if I play iTunes od Spybot nothing happens.
    Internal speakers work fine.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I am connecting it through the firewire thunderbolt adapter. Then firewire 400/800 cable, because Presonus mixer has Firewire s400 port.
    Funny is that iTunes worked fine in the morning. Then I started to check why I can not play Youtube through firewire. From Audio MIDI Setup - Presonus Firestudio - Output - Configure Speakers I changed Multichannel channels. That was all I changed.

  • How to get itunes movies to output via firewire port or other

    I work for a small school tv station in which I'd like to move the students to serving up videos via itunes because it would be easier to add new content to the loop than what they are doing now (which is basically adding a quicktime movie to another and rerendering.)
    To get it "on air" the signal currently uses simplevideo out to send quicktime playback thru firewire which is hooked to a deck. the analog of the deck is hooked to a VCR which sends feeds the on air broadcast.
    What I'd like to be able to do is have a playlist called "on air", set Itunes to show in separate window and have that window feed on air.
    The only solution I can think of is to to ask for a laptop for them and use a dual monitor-like setup and put the expanded window on the 2nd screen which would actually be a VGA to analog converter which could then be hooked to the VCR.
    Is there anything simpler, hardware or software which might interface with itunes to play the movies out to a VCR/TV? AppleTV won't work because I don't have anything HD unless there is some converter I am overlooking.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Well I found one software solution but it is out of our price range. Here it is for anyone else who might be facing this..

  • IMovie playback on external monitor via FireWire?

    this seems like a pretty obvious question, but is it possible to play back an iMovie timeline on an external monitor/TV? i'm connecting my Titanium laptop to a Sony DV camera via FireWire, then directly from the camera to my TV via mini-jack/RCA cable. this works fine in Final Cut Pro, but i can't seem to get my iMovie to show up on the TV. how do you get iMovie to playback output via FireWire?
    thanks.

    In iMovie>Preferences>Playback do you have "Play DV project video through to DV camera" checked?
    For your information: Checking that checkbox sends the audio to the DV camera INSTEAD of to the Mac's speakers, so if you disconnect the camera, you will have no audio.

  • Simultaneous import of video via firewire and audio via in-line audio port

    I have a converter that takes the S-video and audio input from my DVR then converts both to DV format, and then outputs via firewire. I hook the firewire up to my G5, open iMovieHD, and the application recognizes that as a camera and imports wonderfully.
    Well, the audio comes through with a MAJOR buzz or hum. It's probably the converter, but the buzz/hum is not enjoyable.
    So, I removed the audio from the converter, and the video converts wonderfully in iMovie without the audio. I have the audio coming in through my audio line-in.
    I start to import my video, and iMovie starts recording the video. But I want to record the line-in audio at the same time. But when I switch to audio to turn on the input from the line-in, the video stops capturing.
    When I start to capture audio first, then switch to capture video, then the audio stops capturing.
    Is there any way that I can capture the video via firewire for one "track", and my line-in audio for the other "track", and have them play simultaneously in iMovie during capture??
    Any help would be appreciated. thanks Adam

    hey there badkitty 42,
    i don't think you can do that. it sounds like your issue is electrical. try turning the plug around on each piece of gear in the chain & listen for the buzz. if it's not heard you've found the cause of your ground loop. you can also pick up some of the 3-prong orange or grey electrical adapters from Lowe's or Home Depot to see if you can "lift the ground" to get rid of the buzz. i'd try one on the convertor 1st. one last thing, do you have any flourescent lights in use on the same circuit or in proximity to where you're doing your transcoding? these are notorious for inducing 60Hz hum in audio & video gear.
    good luck.

  • How to output from media encoder to camcorder via firewire?

    I am using CS5.5 media encoder to output edited hi def footage from premiere as DV widescreen to sony FX 1 camcorder via firewire.
    How do I route the output from media encoder to the firewire output?
    This is the same camera I use for acqusition & import into premiere via firewire.
    Media Encoder appears to be encoding the footage properly.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Sewerguy

    How do I route the output from media encoder to the firewire output?
    You don't--or can't, rather. You'd need to use Premiere Pro for this. Check this help page for details: Exporting to videotape

  • Output iTunes Video via Firewire

    Anyone know if it's possible to output video via firewire from iTunes? I have some music videos in my library, and I'd like to route them through my DV deck to my television for viewing in another room.
    Is there any way to accomplish this?

    I'm aware only of this solution:
    CTRL-Click on the file you want to put on firewire: "Show Song File"
    A Finder Window will pop up.
    Drag that video clip onto an application that can export via FW like iMovie HD

  • HDV via FireWire output not available

    After editing an HDV50i project in a HDV50i timeline I would like to print it to video. Under "View -> Video Playback" all the HDV options are gray! I cannot select them. Consequently I cannot play the video through the FireWire output. In "Easy Setup" all possible codecs are there and I can choose them (DV, HDV, ProRes, DVCPro etc.etc.). When I startup FCP my Sony Z7 is already attached via FireWire. What's going wrong?

    You can't play back HDV through FireWire. The video stream has to be conformed because of the MPEG-2 format. You can print to video. To see your output on a monitor you'd need to get a Matrox MXO2 box.

  • Having trouble outputing to tape via firewire

    I'm trying to output to tape via firewire. However I'm only recording audio and not video. Device control preset is Firewire NTSC. Video playback preset is Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)
    Any suggestion?

    Make sure the your Video out is set to ALL FRAMES along with the firewire.
    I've no experience with the deck so can't offer any help with it's settings.
    As a trouble shooting measure, does the video show up if you use another DV/Analog converter (then on to a TV monitor to visually verify)?

  • How to connect Final Cut Pro 7 to HVR M10U Deck via Firewire

    Does anybody know which settings to use?  I can't get my Firewire to work.
    Current settings (HVR deck) iLink Converter - Off, VCR - HDV / AUTO (tried both), COMPONENT - 1080i / 480i, DOWN CONVERT - tried them all
    Final Cut Pro Settings - I've tried HDV 1080i60 and HDV Apple Intermediary Codex 1080i60; neither work
    Someone told me about a Refresh Camera button (or something of that kind in the View menu) but I can't find it anywhere.
    Current Op System MAC OS X (10.6.8), Final Cut Pro 7
    Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    This has always worked for me:
    First, with the deck on and connected via firewire, launch system profiler (apple menu, about this mac, more information.  And look at hardware:  firewire and make sure the mac is seeing the deck.  If it isn't, it could be a bad firewire cable, or a blown firewire port on the deck or mac. 
    Make sure your easy set up is correct.  For some reason or other, you can have the inidividual settings correct, and things still won't work.
    Then BEFORE you launch fcp, with the the output of the deck matching your easy setup, start playing a tape with a recording.  Then launch fcp. 
    Good luck, and post back with how things are working.

  • Second iMac as external monitor; Connection via firewire without a deck/cam

    Second iMac as an external monitor; Connection by firewire without a deck/camera possible?
    I spend a lot of hours to find an answer to the following question, unfortunately without any success:
    I’m working with a new iMac (Intel, OS 10.4.11) and Final Cut. Additionally I have an old iMac (G3, OS 10.3.9).
    I would like to use the FireWire port to transport a dv video stream from the new iMac/Final Cut to the old one so that the old one can be used as a monitor. So all I want is a software for the old iMac that shows an incoming FireWire dv-stream as a live picture.
    I tried vlc, videoviewer, iMovie, Vidi and btv. The problem is always the same: Final Cut (on the new iMac) does not find any FireWire/dv-device nor do all these software on the old iMac find a connection to Final Cut. I think the problem is that both sides are seeking for a device-setup at the FireWire-port on the other side. And none of them sends a signal like „yes I’m here and waiting for a dv-stream“.
    Another attempt was ScreenRecycler with VNC-client on the old iMac. Unfortunately on my old iMac Os 10.3.9 is the last possible OS and no vnc client on that system is fast enough to show a video in real time.
    I also tried virtualDV from Apples FireWire SDK 20. It works so far, that it claims to be a dv-device (on the old iMac) and so Final Cut at the new iMac says: „okay I’ll deliver you that stream“. The problem now is that virtualDV only can record that stream, not show it in real time.
    Is there any solution like virtualDV that shows a live preview and turns the iMac in a FireWire dv-device?
    Is there any solution that Final Cut simulates to be a FireWire dv-device itself and that another computer finds that device and understand the dv-stream?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Don't think this is possible.
    You're better off using a DAC (for example the one made by Canopus) and put your DV in and get a compatible signal out the other end for connection to your monitor.
    I don't understand why you would want to go through a computer first, it would be a waste of time and add a huge delay to the signal.
    Finally, I wouldn't use a computer monitor as an external display, it would be useless in my experience. Why not just preview on the one you've got by going full screen in FCP? Also using a computer monitor as a preview/output monitor is not a good idea since it's so different from a normal TV and won't show the correct colour space or issues such as flickering and interlace problems, underscan etc etc.
    Seems like you're using a sledgehammer to crack a very small nut and that would be to use a DV camera via firewire and then connect up a monitor from that. (again using a convertor box if you have a connection problem.)

  • Canon 550D connecting to MacBook Pro via FireWire 800

    As far as I know, my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,1) has a FireWire 800 port. My Canon 550D / Rebel T2i has a combined A/V output and a mini HDMI port. I've been looking around online about a cable that would allow me to connect these 2 together via Firewire (required by Adobe OnLocation). I'm asking here because I'm assuming that someone here is bound to know something about compatible FireWire cables for my MacBook and my DSLR in order to use the software. My knowledge goes as far as needing to know if the MacBook and the DSLR ports are 4-pin or 6-pin. I don't know how to tell and I can't find this information about my MacBook Pro.
    So, the question is: how can you tell how many pins my MacBook's FireWire port requires? And if someone can confirm, is it possible to connect these two things?

    I can only answer part of your question. Your SLR has mini HDMI and a mini USB out. Your MBP has three ways to connect: USB, FW 800 (9 pin) and Thunderbolt (which is ao far supported by a limited number of devices).
    As far as I know, you will not be able to use On Location with the Canon. But I could be wtong. Good places to ask are the Adobe forums and Canon forums.
    Good luck.

  • Color Balance Issue importing from DV Deck Via Firewire...

    The fact that searching google and this formum has lead to me finding NO results, I am wondering whether anyone has or is experiencing similar issues..
    For some time now, I have been having this issue, which I just realized is not normal. I have a Sony DV Cam Deck which I use to import via Firewire to Premiere CS5.5. Attached to the Sony Deck I also have a small monitor connected to the composite video output.
    The color and white balance look fine on the small monitor, however on the import via firewire, there is tinge through it almost like an incorrect white balance.
    YES, I have calibrated and Re-Calibrated my Computer monitors using Spyder3 and when viewing photos and other video not imported through the deck, the color is great.. .It is NOT a problem with the Deck because the SAME thing happens with a friends Deck. I am just using the standard Firewire import on the ASUS Motherboard, although I do have a Blackmagic Studio2 card. This does not really come into it during firewire import....
    As I said, now that I realized, this has been happening for 2 years or more. I was always color correcting the camera mans footage thinking his whitebalance was out, but after now attaching an external monitor to the Deck whilst firewire import, I notice the color is fine on the monitor. I am in PAL land Australia, but it happens with NTSC footage as well...
    Anyone ever experienced this or know of this issue????
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
    Thanks Tony.

    The footage is mainly from the same camera, although occasionally I edit two camera shoots so the other camera is a different model, but this also has a different colour balance after imported.. I have used two identical Sony decks, and my latest acquirsition is a Sony HDV Deck that will natuarally play both. I get the same results from all three decks.
    Yes I have rendered footage with no correction or effects and watched it back on a Sony TV/Monitor. Colour is out.
    I suppose the tinge looks exactly like an incorrect colour temperature setting, but i know it is correct because when I playback the deck directly into a TV through composite it is fine. Example Warm tone Beige Curtains in a Reception Center look like they have a bad green Cast. Skin tones are no where near natural, again a green cast. I am not sure what is going on..
    But yes, it has been there for a couple of years and it just hit me like a tone of bricks after getting this new deck. On previous decks, I never had a monitor connected to the composite and only monitored through the firewire so I always assumed the colour white balance on the cameramans camera is out. WHen I set this deck up, I put a montior on the composite. Yesterday as I was importing source footage, I glanced over and it amazed me to see that the composite monitor on the deck had beautiful rich acurate colour on it, whilst what was coming in on the pc screen, even after playing it back on the TV/Monitor, was horrible.
    So I thought, Hell all these years I have been spending hours colour correcting footage that was ok to start with but lost somting in the transfer?? HOW?? I haven't got a clue.. It really doesnt make sence and I am still trying different experiments. I am now going to import through the component and svideo outputs of the deck, to see what results I get... I will post that later.. Thank you all.
